L O U D A N D C L E A R The Industrial Notification Experts An explosion in the plant... ... A fire. An alarm whistle sounds. One, two..how many blasts? Those who hear it move toward the appropriate exits. Those who don’t wonder... What did they say? What’s happening? What about wind direction? Where is the fire? Is this the safe way out? GAI-Tronics® A Hubbell Company C O M M U N I C A T I O N S In an industrial emergency, response time is crucial. An effective emergency notification system can make a tremendous difference in the aftermath of an incident in the lives you save and to your financial liability. Getting The Message, Loud And Clear An emergency message isn’t effective if it can’t be heard... And industrial environments offer a special challenge because they are noisy, spread out and have a changing and mobile workforce. Hearing an alarm such as a steam whistle can be difficult. Three blasts? Four? Does everyone know the codes? What about visitors and outside contractors? “GAI-Tronics’ state-of-the-art system solutions allowed us to utilize our investment in existing systems to address future needs. For example, we didn’t have to “start over” when addressing emergency notification; rather, we built on the investment we already made” Pulp & Paper Customer There’s really no way to make sure everyone, everywhere in the plant understands an emergency message unless you tell it to them... loud and clear. A voice notification system has countless advantages over alarm whistles or horns. Most importantly, live voice capability enables you to communicate up-to-the-moment information throughout the facility -- messages that are important to what is taking place at that critical moment. In fact, an emergency notification system with live voice capability is unquestionably the best way to ensure ongoing communications between plant management, employees, and rescue teams during and immediately after an incident has occurred. GAI-Tronics offers many options for broadcasting tones and speech messages...horns, drivers and speakers for distributed amplification. S T N E M N O E S U O D R A Our emergency notification system components are Atex, CUL and UL-listed for use in hazardous environments. Once installed, our equipment offers continuous and automatic supervision of equipment functionality. Even during a power failure, operation and supervision can continue via battery backup. The emergency message will always get through. Z GAI-Tronics engineers emergency notification systems specifically to withstand the hazards presented in industrial settings. With over fifty years’ experience in industries such as power generation, chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, offshore oil and gas exploration, and other heavy industries, we have established a reputation for making products that last. A Our rugged communications components feature noisecancelling microphones, non-moveable electronic hook switches and rugged dust-tight housings. They’re also hearing aid compatible. The emergency notification system must work when you need it. Harsh environments - exposure to the elements, hazardous gases, dust or chemicals, even abuse - can take their toll on unprotected system components. Frequent hardware replacement or recurrent system downtime is expensive, frustrating and risky. H In An Emergency, There Are No Second Chances N V I Project Engineer Power Plant We combine 50 years of expertise in operational communications with state-of-the-art microprocessor technology. The result: the only supervised emergency notification system with the capability to broadcast a combination of pre-recorded tones and speech messages, and live voice pages. Over any transmission medium: copper wire, RF or fiber. Everyone heard the message. Everyone understands. R “GAI-Tronics offers us a solution that successfully addressed all of our needs. They provided us the system supervision we required and allowed us to meet the pertinent OSHA regulations. Using GAI-Tronics also allows us to capitalize on the equipment investments we had already made; we didn’t have to purchase another entire system to address the emergency notification issues facing us.” t GAI-Tronics, our emergency notification systems provide clear and intelligible communications. Our emergency notification systems feature superior voice reproduction and Smart VolumeTM Technology - a unique development that automatically adjusts speaker broadcast volume according to ambient noise levels. Our acoustics engineers are expert at overcoming sound barriers, reverberation, shadowing and high noise levels in the most volatile industrial environments. Different Operations Require Different Systems E At GAI-Tronics, we perform an individualized analysis to evaluate your specific emergency notification needs. Our approach to system design is modular -- allowing reconfiguration of components, addition of capabilities, or migration to new technology whenever it makes sense for your operations. M P L O Whether engineered to interface to an existing communications systems, or configured to accommodate multiple speakers, strobes, pullboxes, paging stations, even RF links, your requirements will always be met. System components are self-diagnostic and can interface to existing fire and gas detection systems, and process control equipment. Y E Although sophisticated and comprehensive, our system operation is anything but complex. System users require minimal training -- the outcome is confident, reliable operations. As part of our complete system design we offer an acoustical survey designed to evaluate the requirements of your facility. E S Protecting Your Employees, Safeguarding Your Investment A F E T Your employees are a valuable asset to your company. Today, under OSHA and similar regulations, employers are shouldered with great responsibility for safeguarding their employees. These regulations include strict guidelines regarding requirements for emergency notification and alarm systems -- and they threaten substantial penalties for non-compliance. Y At GAI-Tronics, we make it our business to understand relevant requirements and standards including UL, ATEX, IEC, NEC, OSHA, ABS, DNV, and NFPA. When you have compliance-related questions, you can rely on us to help you make informed decisions regarding emergency notification systems and procedures required for your facility. Touch screen monitor is a user-friendly way to supervise RF links and remote station status.
